TagPro Music Submission Thread #10

Hi all.

It's been over a year since the last thread, so it's time for another music submission thread. With that being said, its time for a little question and answer session.

TagPro has music?

Yup! That little music note button in the top right above the volume slider toggles the in-game music. Some of you who haven't ever turned it on might remember that the music used to be just one song on loop. That was cool, but now we've got a fully fledged jukebox with some really nice songs.

So I can just make a song and submit it?

Yup, all the songs in TagPro rotation were made by users and submitted by them. You're not allowed to submit songs made by other people, in large part for legal reasons (you have to have legal ownership over everything in the song and you grant TagPro the rights to use the song, no copyright violations, etc.).

Are there any other rules about my song?

You can't have any TagPro sounds in your song (so no return noises, cheers, grab sounds, whatever), and you can't have any vocals. If your song has either of these we're not going to accept it, regardless of how good it otherwise is.

When is the deadline?

The deadline will be in a month - all songs must be submitted by June 14th! (note: this is a change from the original post text, which had the deadline at the end of the month)

How do I submit my song?

Make a top level comment with your song title and a link to the song. Please put your song on soundcloud and please make sure you enable downloads / its a public track / etc.

What prizes do I get?

You get a flair. It's cool if you're into that kind of thing. Also people can listen to your music in game.

Thank you and good luck! Please make a comment if you have any questions (idk why I tell people this they'll do it anyway).

Most, if not all, TagPro music uses simplistic instruments without much distortion. For example; the synthesizer in your song (especially right after the intro) might be too aggressive for a background song, just like whatever instrument plays that distorted melody towards the end. I like it but it's a lot more than the other songs.

The drums are interesting, although the hat might resemble a tp button too much? (I'm not sure as I use a custom soundpack)

Also, the rhythm is quite slow compared to even the most rustic tp songs like "waiting on re" (it has fast sub-melodies). Your song could be a welcome variety (or disliked for being different, I can't predict that)

The best part is the middle, I wouldn't change too much there, except when you're going to make it longer.

This is amazing feedback, Ko, thanks! Exactly what I was looking for. I really appreciate your notes, I was worried about to drums being too poppy - so i guess its good to know that fear was well founded.

I’m probably going to start from scratch (as this is an older tune) and I’ll keep your recommendations forefront in my mind.

I used garageband when I was a young middle schooler and when I got older I just decided to buy in for logic pro instead of protools or ableton since it seemed more intuitive and more like the programs I had used.
